American justice has been more than
merriful, more than l%enient, with the An
archists. In what other country in the
world would these men have been let live
80 long or given SO fair . chance for their
lives? In any other country under the sun
they would have heen strung up more than
q year $50. The Anarchists have no u
to complain OF their treatment in America.
They come from oyercrOwded Europe and
are welcomed. They are given what they
never had efore-freedom. Theyare made
one of us. They are given 4 share in the
Government. The ballot Is put into their
hands. They are given a homie and land
in plenty for the asking All the rights
and privileges enjoyed by the foremost
American are accorded them. What is
asked OF them in return for all this sim
ply that they obey the laws.
Is this hard to do? Are American laws
tyrannical? For answer, let them COM
pare their treatment here to that which
their brethren in Anarchy receive else
where. Where but ia America wOuldthey
be allowed 10 hold tbcir inceadi,ry meet
ings, 10 Haunt their red ing Of Anarchy
above the National flag? Where but in
America would they have been allowed to
carry out their hateful doctrines to the eX-
tent of wholesale, dastardly murder? And
where but in America would they have re-
ceiyed 90 fair and impartial a trial as they
have and been given the right Of appeal on
up to the court OF last resort? Who
but the Governor OF an American
State would nave even dreamed OF extend
ing executive clemency to any OF them ?
Let the Anarchists answer these questions.
After GOD-loying people have built up
this country to be the most prosperous in
the would these murderous tramps swarm
to its shores with their pockets full Of dy-
Mantle bombs and their lips disappearing
the sacred name OF freedom, and attempt
to wreck the work ola century. They be-
gin by tearing down the Stars aud Stripes
and mailing up la its place their murder
Gus red emblem. Then they 20 to killing
policemen and are hung for murder-nOt
Anarchy, a crime of even more enOrmity,
but for simple murder.
Can they complain OF tyranny in Amer
ica2 Can the thief complain of tyranny
when be is shot down by the owner Of the
house liz has broken into? Yet the An
archist gees farther bar the thief The
American people ALLOW HIM to break into
their dwelling, although perfectly well
aware that ne has the most sinister designs
on their property and above all on what
they treasure most, their tree government.
They even open wide the door, welcome
him, give him a chair at the table and
plenty to eat if he will work for it. He is
even given a voice in the affairs Of the house
hold! Astonishing and unparalleled, is
1T not? And if he has q spark of gratitude
about him he should be very grateful,
should he lot?
He should be so ashamed of the designs
he contemplated against these kind peo-
pie that he should ask forgiveness for hav-
ing harbored them, should ne not?
The questions are superhuous, Yet, how
grateful is he? The inst thing he
does is, tear the motto of the
wall over the fireside of the Ameri-
can peoples dwelling, and substitute
for Z PLURIBUS UNUM, ANARCHY Yet,
the people of the house say not a word, nor
do they demonstrate or have him arrested
when he distpr5s their peace with a wild
harangue, the burden of which is that he
has come to teardown their dwelling. 1t is
not until he goes down stairs and begins
to murder their servants that they have
him arrested! He is then tried fairly and
fairly condemned. Even then many Of
the people he has SO grossly out
RACED are so kind hearted that
they wish to let him cd, even though he
still protests that if he is freed he will
still try to tear their house down and
murder more of their servants.
Has the Anarchist the least reason to
complain of his treatment in America Is
it not absurdly lenient? Yet for this,
Herr Mosr and his army Of foreign ma
rauders would make martyrs Of these men!
